Hi.
This is an Ibiza-Specific post for small business owners with businesses in or based on Ibiza.
Firstly thanks to all who have emailed. We are quite busy currently with the rush of everybody wanting their businesses showing by the start of summer booking season but will respond to everyone in the next few days.
..But we have had a several enquiries regarding getting a website written and ranking by summer and I wanted to discuss this generally. Ibiza small business owners without websites often think that getting a website is some kind of magic pancea that will make everything right. Unfortunately this is rarely the case.
Each business should be thoroughly analysed for the best solution before committing to a website, as your time and money (especially in Ibiza 
may be better spent in other areas, and sometimes these days, that is not your own standard 5 page website, with just your (slightly) different text to all your competitors.
With the advent of Web2.0 a lot of Ibiza small business owners may be better off starting and running a blog, to begin with especially. It’s free, it’s easy to constantly add and update content, and you can get it to rank for whatever you want it to generally, because you write the content, and can therefore adjust and add to it as necessary, whenever you like, with no maintenance charges from your web designer etc.
You can still get your own domain name if you want to, and you can build up trust from the engines in the domain name and work your way up to a real website when the business justifies it. With a little bit of preparation (the content etc) you could also be live, up and running and showing First page for your keywords in Search targetted adverts in less than 2 hours!
is that fast enough for you?
Another approach we can recommend for is to work with a big established Directory resource such as Ibiza4all.org.
These guys run a very nice human-edited online Ibiza Directory all about the island, which in our opinion is the most Complete Ibiza Directory. www.Ibiza4all.org will list your business on it’s own page and promote you very effectively online. Contact yasha@ ibiza4all.org for more details
